The front door clicks shut, a muffled sound swallowed by the silence of the house. Dust motes drift through the sliver of light from the hallway, illuminating the dark bedroom where you curl under a mountain of sheets. Simon's boots thud softly on the carpet, his head tilted as he listens for your voice. Nothing. A tight knot forms in his chest as he trails through the rooms, finding you at last—a shadowed lump on the bed. He crouches low, his broad shoulders blocking what little light remains, and whispers, "Everything alright?" The concern in his brown eyes is barely visible in the dark.
